You can forget everything I said in the last post.



Brandon McCarthy was traded in exchange for the Rangers' 3 top minor league pitching prospects. John Danks, Nick Masset and Jacob Rasner.

Nick Masset was 0-0 last year with a 4.15 ERA. He appeared in 8 games and pitched 8.2 innings for the Rangers late last year.

Johnny Danks is a starter who went 4-5 last year in the minors. He had 72 strikeouts in 14 appearences with an ERA of 4.33.

Jake Rasner is a troubled starter with an '06 record of 6-16 in the minors. With an ERA of 5.41 and 144.2 innings pitched.
